< Matthew 18 >

1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Qas pa ri qꞌotaj riꞌ, ri tijoxelabꞌ xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che: ¿Jachin ri qas sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Ri Jesús xusikꞌij jun akꞌal, xuya chikixoꞌl.
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we man kikꞌex iwibꞌ, rech je kixux akꞌalabꞌ, man kixkwin taj kixok pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Jeriꞌ, ri kumochꞌ ribꞌ jacha we kubꞌan we akꞌal riꞌ, sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij pa ri ajawarem rech ri kaj.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Xuqujeꞌ ri kukꞌamawaꞌj jun akꞌal pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, in riꞌ kinukꞌamawaꞌj.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
We kꞌo jun kuꞌtaqchiꞌj pa mak we alaj taq nitzꞌ ri e kojoninaq chwe. Are katan riꞌ we kaxekebꞌax bꞌik jun abꞌaj rech keꞌbꞌal chuqul, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌyaq bꞌik kꞌa pa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri cho.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
¡Kꞌax ke ri winaq ri keꞌkitaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj winaq chik pa mak! Rajawaxik kꞌu wi chi kakꞌulmataj na we riꞌ, xa kꞌu kꞌax rech ri winaq ri kuꞌtaqchiꞌj chi nikꞌaj pa mak.
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
We are ri aqꞌabꞌ o ri awaqan kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chakutij, kꞌa te riꞌ chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, maj jun aqꞌabꞌ o maj jun awaqan cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal aqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri awaqan katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
We are ri abꞌoqꞌoch kabꞌanow chawe katmakunik, chawesaj, chakꞌyaqa bꞌik. Are katanik xa rukꞌ jun abꞌoqꞌoch katok pa ri jun alik kꞌaslemal cho ri rukꞌ ukobꞌchal ri abꞌoqꞌoch katkꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri qꞌaqꞌ. (Geenna g1067)
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Qas chiwila na, miwetzelaj jun chike we alaj taq e nitzꞌ riꞌ. Rumal qas kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri kiángel, amaqꞌel ketzijon rukꞌ ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
/Ri uKꞌojol ri Achi xpetik che kikolik ri e sachinaq kanoq./
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
¿Jas kichomaj ix chrij ri achi, ri kasach kan jun chike ri jun ciento uchij? ¿La man kꞌu kuꞌya kan ri junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj pa ri juyubꞌ rech keꞌ chutzukuxik ri uchij ri xsach kanoq?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, sibꞌalaj kꞌo na ri ukiꞌkotemal ri ajyuqꞌ are kuriq ri jun uchij, cho ri e junmuchꞌ bꞌelej lajuj chij ri man xesach taj.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Je xuqujeꞌ ri iTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj, man karaj taj katzaq jun chike we alaj taq nitzꞌ riꞌ.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
We kꞌo jun awachalal pa Cristo, kubꞌan jun kꞌax chawe, jat rukꞌ atukel, chabꞌij che ri xubꞌan chawe. We kutatabꞌej ri kabꞌij che xatchꞌeken riꞌ che.
16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
We man kutatabꞌej ri awachalal ri kabꞌij che, jat chi junmul rukꞌ, chaꞌkꞌama bꞌik kebꞌ o oxibꞌ winaq awukꞌ, rech kakilo jas kibꞌan chusukꞌumaxik ri xkꞌulmatajik.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
We man kuta wi ri kabꞌix che, chabꞌij chike ri komontyox, we man kuta wi tzij, chabꞌana che chi jer kꞌo jun winaq ri man kojonel taj o jun itzel winaq.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ronojel ri man kaya ta bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, man kaya ta bꞌe che chilaꞌ chikaj, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kaya bꞌe che cho ri uwachulew, kaya na bꞌe che pa ri kaj.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe we e kꞌo kebꞌ chiꞌwe kakijunamaj kikꞌuꞌx chutayik jun jastaq, kayaꞌtaj na chike rumal ri nuTat ri kꞌo pa ri kaj.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher jawjeꞌ ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ kebꞌ oꞌxibꞌ winaq pa ri nubꞌiꞌ, kinkꞌojiꞌ riꞌ chikixoꞌl.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Ri Pedro xqebꞌ chuxukut ri Jesús xubꞌij che: ¿Awaj janipa mul rajawaxik kikuy umak ri wachalal ri kubꞌan kꞌax chwe? ¿La xaqareꞌ wuqubꞌ mul?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Man tajin ta kinbꞌij chawe chi xa wuqubꞌ mul xane wuqubꞌ mul oxkꞌal lajuj.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Rumal riꞌ, ri ajawarem rech ri kaj kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jun taqanel ri xuta chike ri rajchakibꞌ chi kakijach ri kwenta rech ri pwaq ri kikꞌas rukꞌ.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Are xuchapleꞌj kitoqꞌixik, xopan ri jun rajchak ri ukꞌas lajuj mil qꞌana pwaq rukꞌ.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Maj urajil chutojik ri ukꞌas, rumal riꞌ ri patrón xtaqan chukꞌayixik ri achi, ri rixoqil, xuqujeꞌ ri ralkꞌwaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri ujastaq ri kꞌolik rech katojtaj ri kꞌasaj.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Ri ajchak xukiꞌk choch ri upatrón xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Toqꞌobꞌisaj la nuwach, kintoj na che la ronojel ri nukꞌas.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Ri patrón xutoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri rajchak, xubꞌij che chi maj chi ukꞌas, kꞌa te riꞌ xutzoqopij bꞌik.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
Are xel bꞌik ri ajchak rukꞌ ri patrón, xuriq jun chike ri rachiꞌl ri ukꞌas jun ciento saq pwaq rukꞌ, xuchap che ri uqul are xraj xujitzꞌaj, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che: Chatojo ri akꞌas wukꞌ.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Ri rech ajchak xukiꞌk choch, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: Chatoqꞌobꞌisaj nuwach, kintoj na chawe ronojel ri nukꞌas.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Ri achi man xutoqꞌobꞌisaj ta uwach ri rech ajchak, xyojtajik kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌkojo kan pa cheꞌ, kꞌa chutojo na ri ukꞌas.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Are xkil konojel ri ajchakibꞌ ri xkꞌulmatajik, sibꞌalaj xebꞌisonik, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitzijoj che ri kipatrón ri xkꞌulmatajik.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Ri patrón xusikꞌij ri ajchak ri je xubꞌan we riꞌ, xubꞌij che: “¡At Itzel laj ajchak! Xinkuy ri akꞌas, rumal xata toqꞌobꞌ chwe.
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
¿La man kꞌu xatoqꞌobꞌisaj uwach ri awachiꞌl jacha ri xinbꞌan in chawe?”
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Ri patrón xyojtajik, kꞌa te riꞌ xujach bꞌik ri achi chike ri ajchakibꞌ pa ri cheꞌ, rech kabꞌan kꞌax che kꞌa chutojo na ronojel ri ukꞌas.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jeriꞌ kubꞌan na ri nuTat ri kꞌo chilaꞌ chikaj chiꞌwe, we man kiꞌkuy ri iwachalal rukꞌ ronojel ikꞌuꞌx.
